Muscular Torticollis

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the elasticity of sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) in patients with congenital muscular torticollis (CMT). Methods: In all, 41 patients and 22 controls were included in the study, and the elasticity of the patients’ SCM was measured. Echogenicity, thickness, and strain values of the SCM were also obtained. Results: The thickness and strain values of the SCM were higher in the patient group than in the control group ( P = .02 and P = .15). For median values, there was no difference in echogenicity and strain. In the strain elastography evaluation of the receiver operating curve (ROC) for muscle echogenicity in the isoechoic muscle group, the specificity and sensitivity were determined to be 100% and 22%, respectively, for the area under the curve (AOC) value of 0.558 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.424–0.6686), and the cutoff value was <1.4. In the hyperechoic muscle group, the ROC for AUC values was found to be 0.542 (95% CI, 0.411–0.6686), and the cutoff value was >1.4 with 100% sensitivity and 20.75 specificity. Conclusions: The strain elastography technique can be used in the diagnosis of CMT.

Suggested Classification

A calf with a lymphoproliferative disease resembling human mycosis fungoides, had multiple, ulcerated skin nodules with enlarged regional lymph nodes. Tumor cells were 10–15 μm in diameter and had round to oval nuclei without indentations. Mitoses were regularly present. Pautrier's microabscesses were in the epidermis, and T-cell areas of regional lymph nodes were infiltrated by neoplastic cells. Demonstration of the T-helper/inducer origin of neoplastic lymphocytes suggested classification in analogy with human mycosis fungoides.

Skin Nodules

This book represents the most recent attempt to provide a systematic description of the skin manifestations of internal disorders. The author has coined and used throughout the volume the term "dermadrome" to designate the dermal component of a syndrome. Thus for instance the characteristic exanthem is the "dermadrome" of scarlet fever, erythema multiforme and skin nodules the "dermadromes" of rheumatic fever. The dermatologic symptoms are detailed under the heading of the various diseases. This facilitates reference within the text for those not conversant with all the intricacies of dermatologic classification. Author and publisher have done a commendable job in presenting the material in clear and readable form.
